"Living on a Dollar a Day: The Lives and Faces of the World's Poor"

Parul Begom’s job requires her to feed plastic coated wiring into a machine that releases hazardous fumes as it chops the wire into recyclable pellets, sometimes taking a finger with it. All this she endures in order to come home to a one-room metal enclosure with no heat, toilet or electric to care for her children. Begom, 45, is the only woman working at the factory where she severed her thumb six months earlier in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
